France is one of the countries highlighted by rights group Amnesty International as
discriminating against Muslims for demonstrating their faith, especially in the fields of education and employment.
The report, ‘Choice and prejudice: discrimination against Muslims in Europe’, was particularly critical of countries that have brought in outright bans on face-covering veils or on the wearing of religious symbols in schools.
Focusing on France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and Switzerland, Amnesty urged European governments to do more to challenge negative stereotypes and prejudices against Islam.
